Gavronski barely made the standing 8 count and when he did, Johnson swarmed all over him trying to finish the fight, rocking him some more and fortunately being saved by the bell.

9th Round: In between the round, doctors were looking at Gavronski like he wouldn’t be right to fight and when it came down to him getting off the stool for the fight, he took too long and was wobbly getting up as the fight started...(One second of the fight started while realizing that he was not in a condition to keep fighting)...giving the doctors the go ahead to stop the fight to give Dashon Johnson the main event upset victory and to be crowned the new WBA-NABA-US Super Middleweight Champion.
